(Be innovative in where you put them, bumper stickers and business cards can be tacked up anywhere, with permission of course.)

And all our websites are top ranked in the search engines. Check it out! (I haven't lost my touch. I used to do this for a living.)The websites are being updated almost daily with new news articles, and movie, course, and book descriptions.

And we've gotten 10 new members. A return of 2.3% on unique visitors. In the business of website advertising 2- 2.5% return is considered good, anything above 3% is considered exceptional.

And we've had two meetups and one is planned for every week in the future. As we grow those meetups will be focused on the subjects of specific websites.

And the big push in the high traffic areas on Sioux Falls begins on Monday over the next two weeks, 7 more billboards for 4-6 weeks each. And TV ads start soon, more on this later.
